Really? It was such a bad, non-viable idea that the WRTC-2006 in Brazil
implemented it as a rule requirement.
If you're serious about trying to win, set up a recording device on your
computer and record the contest. Simple. Casual entrants -- 95% or more of
the contesting population -- are exempted from having to do so.
Submit your log and the recording of the contest. If there is a question about
your log by a contest sponsor, the recording can be consulted.
Most everyone's log is public already, and this has been hailed as a Good
Thing(tm) for radio contesting. I think public logs are a great idea. There
are tons of them posted on the CQ WW site right now.
Serious entrants being required to submit a complete recording ought to be
required.
